Show Notes

Postures (Asana) is the third of the eight limbs of Yoga

It is advisable to listen to "The Yoga Sutras" episode before you listen to this one.

Asana means the physical posture, the seat that we take for meditation.

In this episode, Jo talks about the evolution of Asana. She explores the extreme "instagrammable" postures and her belief that they are symptomatic of our society where people may be placing their personal value and worth on achieving them.

Jo reminds us that these extreme postures do not make someone "better" at yoga, and how we should all practice Yoga at our own physical & mental pace.
